Upgraded to V150 now admin Access is gone

I upgraded to lates version and now I have no admin access, can not edit admin info, add new admin, nothing. When linked is clicked on it goes to an error page. Please point me in the right direction. Silks

In versions prior to 1.5.0 the Admin user control was in the Tools->Admin Settings menu. That was removed and replaced with a new top-level menu entitled Admin Access Management.

The Admin Access Management is not there at all. Missing from the tool bar.. Silks

What exactly did you do to get to this point?
What were the steps you took in your upgrade? Who did your upgrade for you, and how?

yep same here - upgraded from 1.37 to 1.50 using fantastico.

Is there a fix to this yet?

The "fix" is to not use Fantastico, but to follow the upgrade instructions provided in the documents folder of the download pack. Fantastico and other auto-installers often make critical errors (especially when you have addons or mods installed in your old version).

Hopefully you made a back up before you used Fantastico to do your upgrade. This will allow you to roll back to your pre-upgrade state and start fresh with the manual process.

Please report your problem to Fantastico directly: https://netenberg.com/#customer.html

Part of my problem I found is that I have :oops:two Admin folders, one is admin and the other is zc_admin. How do I combine them into a new secure folder? Silks

The same way you would if you were doing a proper normal upgrade by hand. Use the NEW one only, and add in the things required by any customizations you've made or (compatible) addons you've added, and then delete the old one. https://www.zen-cart.com/upgrade

I've just experienced the same thing. Its like it disappeard into thin air. I already had it up and running and created two new super users. At some point later it disapppeared from the top level menu.

jUST FOUND THE SOLUTION. /INCLUDES/FILENAME.PHP WAS ORIG 1.39

Is there any chance of getting override directory in includes? filenames.php is a custom file for anyone who has added additional pages to their store. I just went thru it and spent half a day trying to figure out why admin access management disappeared.

The way to do this is to use extra_configures and extra_datafiles.

can you elaborate?

Put your additional filename defines in

./admin/includes/extra_datafiles/yet_more_filenames.php

so for example I added page_22, I would create a new file called anything-but-filenames.php and have a single line of text in it? This is what I mean about more elaboration.

You said you overrode filenames.php. Whatever you put in your changed file, put it under extra_datafiles. I have no idea what the contents you need are, but I would hope that they would look like what's in includes/filenames.php (except for your new pages).

I simply copied the original filenames.php and added a few pages and saved it as filenames.php in an override directory.

Could you reply directly to this question and nothing else?

No, there isn't an "override" of filenames.php. That's intentional, as there's rarely any need to change that file's existing contents.
Instead, simply by using Zen Cart's autoloading support, you can put a new file in the extra_configures (or extra_datafiles) folder, and that file will automatically be executed on every page load.

Thus, the following would suffice:

/includes/extra_datafiles/my_added_filenames.php```
